Some Interesting Benefits of Drinking Earl Grey Tea

Earl Grey Blends Have Positive Effects That Go Beyond Flavor

Known for its robust flavor and citrus overtones, Earl Grey tea is a popular choice. When you enjoy this blend with breakfast or an afternoon snack, you not only get the relaxing experience offered by a steaming cup of tea but also many benefits for overall health. *

Aids Digestion

Drinking a cup of Earl Grey when you experience common digestive disturbances such as nausea and acid reflux could help calm the symptoms. This tea has been used historically to treat many digestive problems. Some studies have shown it effective in combating constipation and promoting regularity.

Boosts Mood

The bergamot in Earl Grey blends may have a calming effect. As you sip a cup of this delicious tea, you inhale the aroma of the unique essential oil found in the rind of the bergamot orange. These aromatherapy effects have been studied for their ability to reduce anxiety, ease stress and alleviate mild depression symptoms. In addition, the antioxidant properties in bergamot may serve to boost the immune system, helping you to stay healthy and feel better overall.

Promotes Healthy Teeth

Instead of getting fluoride synthetically from treated water or toothpaste, you can get a natural form by drinking Earl Grey tea. Touted for its ability to maintain strong, healthy teeth, fluoride is an important part of an oral health regimen. In addition, Earl Grey delivers a high level of catechins, antioxidant compounds that may help defend against common oral infections.

Improves Hydration

Coffee is acidifying, dehydrating and may cause symptoms such as nervousness or jitters due to its high caffeine content. Though Earl Grey also contains caffeine, the levels are much lower than those in coffee. Plus, you also get a dose of potassium from drinking black teas such as Earl Grey. Potassium is important for maintaining fluid balance in your cells, so you not only get more water but your body is also able to stay better hydrated throughout the day.

The Earl Grey you find at Tea Forté offers all of these benefits whether you choose a loose blend or the signature pyramid tea infuser. Steep a cup or two and relish the unique flavor as it floods your body with warmth and health. Simply steep for three to five minutes in just-boiled water and enjoy. Add milk and sugar if desired.
